United States

The United States is the primary jurisdiction for AI governance frameworks and regulatory developments that significantly impact global enterprise AI compliance. U.S. federal agencies including the FDA, FTC, NIST, and EEOC are actively establishing AI oversight standards, while states like California and Colorado introduce parallel regulations that create complex compliance requirements. Understanding U.S. AI policy is critical for enterprises operating domestically or internationally, as American standards and enforcement actions often set precedents that influence global AI governance practices.

Dual-Board Model Would Make AI Safety a Fiduciary Duty, Brooklyn Law Review Article Argues

A peer-reviewed article published in the Brooklyn Law Review proposes a dual-board corporate governance structure designed to embed AI safety obligations directly into board-level accountability frameworks. The model would create enforceable fiduciary duties tied to AI safety outcomes, treating AI risk oversight as a formal governance responsibility rather than a voluntary management function. The article argues that existing single-board structures are inadequate to address the complexity and speed of AI-related risks facing corporations.
